Student Council & Jogging

So..this week was like my usual week in terms of CAS, but we also started student council meetings this week.
It's getting colder so I haven't been jogging as frequently as I did before. However, I went for a quick jog on Friday after school for some stress release and then yesterday, I ran 10km with my friend. I'm very very proud of myself for that and I felt great after!! I always find it easier and more fun to run with someone else, because it keeps the motivation higher. It was actually very windy yesterday, which made the jog a bit more challenging.
I also went to Zumba on both Monday and Thursday this week, and it was great, as usual :D Actually, Thursday's class was a bit less awesome than usual. I was incredibly tired and all the dances seemed more difficult than usual. I think it was just a difficult week.

We had a student council meeting this week. It was mostly introductory, but we did already start making some plans for this year. There are some new people in student council, which is nice, because hopefully that will bring in new ideas.
I also went to a G5 meeting on Thursday, but I was a bit disappointed in it. I imagined it to be different from what it was in reality, and I'm not entirely sure that I want to further involve myself with it. 

It's getting colder..

It's getting colder and it's supposed to get even more cold next week, so I won't be able to go jogging outside for much longer. I went a couple times this week, but I'm a bit sick so I couldn't run as much as I usually like to. I also only went to one class at my gym this week, because I was sick. I chose zumba, because I really liked the first time I did it and it was great again this time. I found out that there's zumba twice a week, which is great!! Next week I want to go both times.
This week was also my friend's birthday, so I made her a cake. It was an awesome cake - a giant cupcake. I finally had a reason to buy the pan and to try it out and it worked out great! I still have loads of room for improvement, but all in all I was very happy with my cake.
I need to start doing more service hours again, so I'll see how I can get involved in that. 

CAS? CAS.

I've had another very active week this one. I've been doing sports almost everyday, and I've also had sometime to bake (by had I mean made).
All my jogging is recorded on my endomondo, so I can keep track of how I'm doing. I went running on Monday, Wednesday and this morning. On Tuesday I went to PowerDance again, but this time I joined half way through. I spent the first half hour of the class running on the treadmill.
On Thursday I tried Zumba though, which was absolutely AMAZING. The music was great, the style was great and the trainer was great. It was everything that I hoped it would be and more. I'm definitely going to start taking part in Zumba classes.

On Thursday night, full of positive emotion after Zumba I decided I wanted to bake so I made a batch of my very favorite, chocolate chip cookies. I felt that I wanted to bake for my friends because it had been a difficult week, so I wanted it to end on a positive note.

I came away from the city for the weekend and this morning I went for a jog. Jogging here is really different, because first of all, I jog on forest paths rather than the road. Also, I usually take my dog with me, so it's a bit more fun but also a bit more complicated. I can't completely concentrate on jogging, so sometimes it messes up my breathing and it's more difficult to run at an even pace. However, it's nice to have someone running with me and I don't need to keep my dog on the leash all the time.

1st week of September!

Well, now that this crazy week is almost over…
The first week of school is always a bit hectic, but surprisingly I've managed to do a lot of CAS this week. Mostly active things though, but last week on Sunday I also baked a loooottttt of cookies for the first day of school. I'm pretty sure I forgot to write about it last week, so I'll just add it in here. I made twice as much dough as I usually do and then baked it all, so in the end I had about 70 cookies or something. Everyone was happy to take some though, so it wasn't a problem giving them out to people.

This week however, I have been incredibly active. I'm pretty sure I've done some kind of physical activity everyday.

On Monday morning I went for a jog, mainly because I was nervous for the speech I was going to give later on in the day. It was a morning jog, so it wasn't very long. That evening I also joined the gym, but my first class at the gym was on the next day. On Tuesday I went to the gym. I did half an hour on the treadmill and then an hour and half of PowerDance. It was really cool, so I think I'm going to continue. On Wednesday, I went for a jog in the evening. I went to this big park, so that I could run on the paths rather than the pavement. On Thursday evening I went for another jog just around my house and yesterday I went to the gym again and did an hour on the treadmill.
My body aches a bit, but honestly I feel really great!

Next week, I'm planning on trying out Zumba and as long as the weather is nice I want to keep up the jogging. Once it gets colder, I can just use the treadmill more.
